Daniil” medvedev> is one of Stefanos Tsitsipas’ biggest rivals. The Russian player has defeated the Greek in all four matches they have played so far. As quoted by the New York Times, the Greek admitted the Russian is a tough match up for him.

“He just has this completely different way of playing which consists of playing flat and low and not giving you much angle to play with,” Tsitsipas said. “I think sometimes that can be very disturbing, especially when it’s over the long term.

He has a very, very weird game. I don’t mean this in a negative way; he just makes you feel uncomfortable when you play against him. He can make you miss without you understanding how you just missed. You miss shots that you don’t miss”.

Also, other players went on to praise Medvedev, including the Japanese Kei Nishikori, who said: “He’s very smart how he plays. He doesn’t have a very big weapon, but he sees very well how the other guys play, and he manages well how he plays against all different guys.”
